How to Use AI to Edit Videos Like a Pro

Aan Team·February 28, 2026·1 min read

Video editing is one of the most time-consuming aspects of content creation. AI tools are now capable of handling many editing tasks automatically, from removing silences to adding captions and even generating highlight reels.

Automated Editing with AI

Tools like Descript let you edit video by editing text — remove a sentence from the transcript, and the corresponding video is automatically cut. This text-based editing approach makes video editing as easy as editing a document.

CapCut's AI features can automatically add captions, transitions, and effects, turning raw footage into polished content in minutes.

AI-Powered Enhancements

Topaz Video AI can upscale low-resolution footage to 4K quality. Runway's tools can remove objects from video, change backgrounds, and even extend clips with AI-generated frames.

For audio, tools like Adobe Podcast and Descript can remove background noise, normalize volume levels, and even remove filler words automatically.
